About a month ago, during practice before the Northwestern game, he got sandwiched between a safety and a tight end at full speed and suffered three cracked ribs. The guy didn't miss even ten seconds worth of coaching as a result! That's one tough ol' bird.mhentznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17480875.post-1162930363346342722006-11-07T15:12:00.000-05:002006-11-07T15:12:00.000-05:00To: the ironically named "class bitches, class".Yo...To: the ironically named "class bitches, class".<BR/><BR/>You're a dick.

He is in the Big 10 afterall, what he did before joining the Big 10 still goes down under his name as a coach who happens to be in the Big Ten now (not necessarily as Big Ten wins, but as coaching wins). So, when someone says name one of the greatest coaches in the Big Ten, I think you can equate that to anyone that happens to coach in the Big Ten now, or someone that enjoyed tremedous success in the Big Ten previously but isn't there now. I don't think they have to be conflicting statements. They can be though... suppose someone said name one of the greatest coaches in the NFL. Spurrier's name wouldn't come to mind because he didn't have success as a coach in the NFL, but he is one of the greatest (college) coaches of all time. So maybe you and anon 2:05 and 'class bitches' can all be right.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17480875.post-1162852161830859732006-11-06T17:29:00.000-05:002006-11-06T17:29:00.000-05:00As far as I know, PSU has only been in the Big Ten...As far as I know, PSU has only been in the Big Ten for 13 years.

Per the Big 10 Director of Officiating, the refs could have put time back on the clock after both penalties or assigned an unsportsman like conduct penalty after the second offsides. Per NCAA coaching rule book, it is unsportsman-like to coach a player or players to purposefully commit a penalty.Shelleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11680346757232807542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17480875.post-1162829368983483282006-11-06T11:09:00.000-05:002006-11-06T11:09:00.000-05:00I wish Joe a quick and full recovery, but will adm...I wish Joe a quick and full recovery, but will admit when I saw the play my first thought was that he's too old to be on the sidelines. It's not pleasant to see a septuagenarian (not 80 until December, I think) get run over by a collegiate athlete. I know the story, he's earned the right to retire on his schedule, but hopefully he'll soon realize the limitations of age. I also think he showed a bit of disconnectedness with the game when he so vociferously argued the time running off the clock at the end of the first half. That's the rule Joe, nothing the refs can do, and as head coach you should know that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17480875.post-1162828774474664602006-11-06T10:59:00.000-05:002006-11-06T10:59:00.000-05:00I think one of the posters on Deadspin's "Hugh Joh...I think one of the posters on Deadspin's "Hugh Johnson Project"<BR/>said it best:<BR/><I>Joe Paterno just about lost his leg below the knee when a player's helmet directly collided with it.
